Although I've heard 'his' or 'hers' used as indefinite (eg. automobiles being personified) these old ears would rather hear one's use altered to be *gender neutral, unless it is known and appropriate.
This reminds me of Helen Reddy, upon winning the Grammy for "I am woman" thanked God because "she made it happen".
